==History== Although relays of Italian television have been available in Montenegro under Yugoslav rule since 1956, it wasn't until 4 May 1964 when the local television station started. On this day, the first news report from the Titograd newsroom was presented. By 1968, the regular weekly chronicle "Kroz Crna Gora" began, which in 1971 grew into the daily service "Novosti dana". A sports team was also set up around this time.<ref name="History">{{Cite web|url=https://rtcg.me/rtcg/_rtcg/istorija.html|title=ISTORIJA|website=RTCG - Radio Televizija Crne Gore - Nacionalni javni servis|accessdate=12 February 2025}}</ref>
The first daily television news service (''Dnevnik'') was broadcast in 1975. In 1979, Titograd TV joined the Eurovision network at the opening of the TV Festival of non-aligned countries in Bar.<ref name="History"/>
RTT moved into its new facilities in 1984, which improved professional working conditions.<ref name="History"/>
In 1991, the channel adopted its current name, TVCG 1, gaining a more autonomous schedule in 1997. The channel was previously known under the name Televizija Titograd. As early as 1998, when RTCG began to distance itself from Slobodan Milošević's policies and the official stance coming from Belgrade, its television output began to increase.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ucg.ac.me/skladiste/blog_1259/objava_67406/fajlovi/TELEVIZIJA%201.pdf|title=Televizijsko novinarstvo|accessdate=12 February 2025}}</ref>
